Comment by iceMan71:
Thanks for the comments... However, I don't necessarily agree with some of them, but totally respect your views. Nothing much to say for the person who gave a 0 for overall opinion, a 2 for meeting the challenge (thanks!) and a bunch of 1's though.

Anyways, this was an abstractish approach, so I was not expecting a very high point. Actually, I'm impressed with a point higher than 5. Well, I was not very happy with a couple of things myself, so I'll edit it again based on some of the comments and put a print of it in my office.

Back to comment: I suspect you forgot to sharpen after down sizing this image for the challenge. This image would also benefit from a little post processing work with levels or curves to boost the detail in the hay bales. With levels, I would suggest dropping the gamma (the middle slider) and then boosting the brightness and contrast.
